  1. Patients on Medicaid

    Batman24 replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have called for doctor's appointments and before I even say why they are asking about my insurance info. I did advise the doctor that it comes across as uncaring. Ask about the patient's complaint...

  2. Peer Evaluations

    Batman24 replied to GeminiTwinRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't mind it as a tool for hiring outside staff as Jessie's employer does. It gives the nurses a say in who is hired. That can be a very valuable tool. I don't like it for employees that are...

  3. Next time I will tell her to shut up

    Batman24 replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    I hate when people are so spolied and nasty that when things don't go their way they resort to lying and telling stories. She only did this because she's embarassed by her own behavior and now wants...

  4. Denied employment without checking excellent references!!!!

    Batman24 replied to kstec's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your frustration, but it sounds to me like they did you a favor in not hiring you. I'd move on and let it go. This just wasn't the job for you if they are unprofessional and don't take...

  5. The drug-seeker file in ER

    Batman24 replied to Anagray's topic in Emergency

    Do you have a link to a website that has the info?! I looked and can't find a thing on the Internet. This would be good for a report I have to do. I find it a horrible idea. I'm not surprised to read...

  6. The field of Nursing is wicked to CENAs..the ugly side no one talks about

    Batman24 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    It sound slike it would be a blessing if you didn't have this job and found another one. Your parents won't be disappointed in you for sticking up for yourself, taking yourself out of an abusive...

  7. My 2 cents on natural birth/birth plans

    Batman24 replied to feebebe23's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would think the hospital would have a problem with their documents being amended by a nurse or any medical staff in this way. Your written additions might not be 100% accurate or medically factual....

  8. Has anyone ever had to do all this mess for a job?

    Batman24 replied to icyounurse's topic in General Nursing

    That does seem extreme. I would think that's overkill too. Did you ask why they needed

  9. Residents who pull their call light for the sake of it

    Batman24 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    She's probably lonely. I don't think she is being spiteful to irrate the CNA or any f the staff. Perhaps when you leave the room you can tell her you will check on her as soon as you do XYZ. She might...

  10. The field of Nursing is wicked to CENAs..the ugly side no one talks about

    Batman24 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    BTW...if they fire you go right to the unemployment office. Must people think that if they are fired they aren't entitled and often that isn't the case. Go and apply ASAP. If you need help on this end...

  11. The field of Nursing is wicked to CENAs..the ugly side no one talks about

    Batman24 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that they took you off the schedule has me a little irked and worried. It stinks that they are taking money out of your pocket before even hearing your side of the story. I really think you...

  12. The Doctor said WHAT?

    Batman24 replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    As a doctor how do you feel about doctors that act this way?! How would you suggest medical staff deal with him as chances are this is far from the last time they will need his signature?! I would...

  13. Patient Modesty

    Batman24 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    Question: How many people are usually in the room while the patient is being cleaned and draped?! Do other medical staff come in and out once the surgery starts or does it remain private barring an...

  14. Patient Modesty

    Batman24 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    If I ever had surgery I would like the staff to introduce themselves, be professional, kind, and protect my modesty the best they could. I can't see myself wanting to interview everyone involved. I'm...

  15. What Is An OR Tech?!

    Batman24 replied to Batman24's topic in Operating Room

    I am not having surgery so this was really more of a general question. I take it from your reply that nurses and docs would be comfortable using an OR tech versus a licensed nurse as well. I didn't...

  16. Dealing with The Yellers

    Batman24 replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    If they are confused, have demensia, etc. than I would answer their screams as soon I could because they really don't know any better. If they are of sound mind and not in terrible pain/danger I would...

  17. The field of Nursing is wicked to CENAs..the ugly side no one talks about

    Batman24 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't judge all nurses on the behavior of one or two bad apples. There are bad employees in every field. My personal experience (not in nursing as I am a student) is that often it is based on...

  18. LTC Nurse Haivng Problems with and EMT (super long!)

    Batman24 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    You should follow up with her superior. I agree with the above poster who says to find out who it is and contact them immediately. I aslo agree with filling out an incident report if you haven't...

  19. NET Science Section??

    Batman24 replied to codi1226's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Was the science connected to another section of the test?! I too have heard some having science and some not. My book doesn't have it and my school states only the math and reading comp sections count...

  20. Is it inappropriate to give notice via email?

    Batman24 replied to medicrnohio's topic in General Nursing

    I would call and see if your manager can meet you a bit before your shift starts tonight. I would give the info in person because it's more professional. If you can't do that then call and tell her...

  21. future nurse student needs NET help

    Batman24 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You shouldn't be allowed to go back to earlier sections as it is a timed test and the score is somewhat based on that. If a school is letting some do that they shouldn't be. I agree that it isn't...

  22. Ethics: Does it bother you when people are in nursing to make money?

    Batman24 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't bother me a bit. Of course nurses care about money. They aren't there to work for free. My feeling is nurses are underpaid. I will make more at past jobs then I will as a nurse when I...

  23. Starting IVs for first time ever in nursing school

    Batman24 replied to may8755's topic in General Students

    Putting in an IV is the thing that scares me most about NS. I will be okay with foleys, shots, etc. but the IV gives me nightmares. It could be because I had a terrible ordeal with an IV with a nurse...

  24. preparing to be one of them????????????

    Batman24 replied to RN2B73's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It can be very confusing when you to a hospital or office and everyone is in scrubs. I have been to offices where everyone from the receptionist to the doctor had scrubs on. I would like to...

  25. What would you have done?

    Batman24 replied to miwachiru123's topic in General Nursing

    It's kind of scary that they aren't checking references and credentials of medical staff. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. The woman was out of line. I bet she's the reason they are often...
